Guys I really need some help and /r/ has failed me
I'm looking for a book I read in elementary school, it was a series of hard covers with artwork similar to a series of unfortunate events
It was about steampunk pirates in that sort of future where it's advanced but there are still wooden/metal ships and i think they could fly?
There was also magic involved and I remember some sort of forging process which has the only words I remember "white hot flame"
It was a pretty high level book for elementary kids
there's another book I desperately want to find but don't want to fill the catalog with another thread

....so it can't be Treasure Planet right?
Akiko...?
remember any other specific phrases
>>7787620
I also remember it being a thick book, like Harry Potter type of thick but square, not the big ass rectangle some books are
give me some specific year. like
when you read it
or, when you think it might've been published

I read it in 2008-2009? It seemed like it was published only a few years before that, it wasn't an old seeming book
It'd probably be in YA fiction, and was part of a series
I could tell you the school I got it from if it helps

Was the protagonist a gnome or elf like creature and where there other non human creatures too?
